Interview with Margaret Thatcher, in which she discusses the possibility of her serving a fourth term as Prime Minister. She says that she hopes to win this time (i.e. to serve a third term), but that she is never over-confident. Conservative policies will exhibit continuity but also flexibility. She refuses to say which of the rival parties worries her most - she is concentrating only on winning. The interviewer is Peter Murphy.
